“Many of our patients—particularly busy professionals and mothers—report feeling noticeably more energetic within hours of treatment,” says Dr. Seon-Hwa Jeong, MD, Women’s Health Specialist at Second Spring Clinic.

Why IV Therapy Is Making Waves in Women's Health

Modern life places enormous demands on women. From juggling career responsibilities and family care to navigating hormonal fluctuations, women often experience a silent toll on their energy levels, immunity, and overall well-being. For many, conventional self-care routines like diet, sleep, and oral supplements aren't enough. This is where IV therapy steps in as a science-backed, personalized wellness intervention.

At Second Spring Clinic in Seoul’s Gangnam district, Dr. Seon-Hwa Jeong and her team offer bespoke IV infusions that target fatigue, dehydration, hormonal imbalance, and immune weakness—all in a safe, medically supervised setting.

What Is IV Therapy and How Does It Work?

Intravenous (IV) therapy involves administering fluids infused with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids directly into your bloodstream. This allows for near-instant nutrient absorption, bypassing the digestive system, which can often be compromised by stress or illness.

Why Absorption Matters

Oral supplements must first be broken down in the stomach and intestines before nutrients can enter the bloodstream. This process can take hours and may result in significant nutrient loss. IV therapy eliminates this barrier, ensuring maximum bioavailability.

Common infusion types include:

• Vitamin Boosts

• Immunity Drips

• Hydration Therapy

• Detox Infusions

• Hormonal Balance Support

Each drip can be tailored based on your symptoms, lab tests, and lifestyle needs.

When Energy Feels Elusive: The Real Causes of Fatigue

Fatigue isn’t just about not getting enough sleep. It can result from:

• Hormonal imbalances (e.g., low estrogen, thyroid issues)

• Adrenal fatigue due to chronic stress

• Nutritional deficiencies (B vitamins, iron, magnesium)

• Poor gut absorption

• Post-illness depletion

Women are especially prone to energy dips due to monthly cycles, pregnancy, perimenopause, and caregiving stress. IV therapy helps by rapidly replenishing key nutrients and offering relief when oral solutions fall short.

The Clinical Combo: B12, Magnesium, and Amino Acids

These nutrients are vital for mitochondrial function, the energy factory of our cells. Magnesium supports muscle and nerve relaxation, B12 boosts red blood cell production and brain clarity, and amino acids repair muscle tissue and neurotransmitters.

Building a Resilient Immune System

A robust immune system doesn’t just protect against colds—it helps regulate inflammation, detoxification, and hormonal balance. Women facing high stress, pollution exposure, or recurrent infections often need immune reinforcement.

IV immune therapy at Second Spring often includes:

• Vitamin C: A potent antioxidant that supports white blood cell activity

• Zinc: Critical for mucosal barrier integrity and immune cell function

• Glutathione: The body’s master detoxifier, reducing oxidative stress

• Selenium: Supports thyroid and immune synergy

According to research published in the Journal of Translational Medicine, high-dose IV Vitamin C showed potential in reducing the severity and duration of viral infections when administered early.
